But do they still ban them? I thought that it was up to individual stores? My local BB has closed, so I haven't been in one in years, but the last time I went, I thought they had started to carry unrated films (which they also once refused to carry).
Just like they once refused to carry LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, that film was on shelves by the late 90's.
There are so few NC-17 rated films that it isn't an issue.
